OXO Good Grips Seafood & Nut Cracker

I'm nuts about this product

Muy contento con esto .. Tomar las nueces abrir muy fácilmente sin romper la tuerca en pedazos... espero lo tengo para mucho años

Con un poco de práctica, no mucha, el pelador funciona perfectamente evitándote la penosa tarea del pelado y desvicerado de gambas y langostinos.

I'm not exactly sure how there are so many people who struggle with this tool, but I've found it to be very helpful and a major upgrade from the methods I'd use prior to buying this tool (I used to use a paring knife or a barbecue skewer). I lay my shrimp in my palm, back side up, then, starting from the head-side of the shrimp, I slide the tool along the back of the shrimp. The tool doesn't shred my shrimp at all and somehow it "catches" all of the shrimp's digestive tract and I can rinse the tool off in a cup of cold water in between each shrimp. I rarely purchase single-purpose kitchen tools, but this one was small enough so that it doesn't take up much more room than say, a butter knife and the amount of time and frustration it saves me makes it worth it.

I actually use these for planting/trans-planting my plants. The scoup end makes the hole for seed/plant and for getting them back out. The tiny prong side helps with trans planting the tiny plant so you don't break the roots of the plant. Works perfectly. Easy to use. This tool is sturdy and won't bend/break. Has a nice gripper to hold. The size of this tool is perfect for the job and it's not heavy at all. Love this tool.
